Fence vs Wall?

[BustedHipGaming]

I get that one difference is that you can see through a fence, but not through a wall. Are there any other differences between them other than how they look? Do they both stop enemies and such? Are walls stronger? What do I need to know when deciding which to use?

I honestly have no idea what between walls or fences are stronger because I never used them for any reason besides aesthetics.

If you're worried about enemies breaking into somewhere I suggest just removing the floor. The normal enemies in this game can't cross one tile gaps.

I just had some of the scarlet fencing i put up and i have had a single leaking blue slime so far.

yea i am gonna either double my fencing or put water or a space around it.

Fences can be useful in areas where you don't want some of the critters to be destroying your torches.

I want to use them to protect my railways: railroad, wall or fence, 2 tiles of removed terrain. The reason for the wall or fence is that some enemies have ranged attacks that the gap in the ground won't stop.

I'm trying to use them to protect my railways so I don't get shot with ranged attacks while in my mine cart. IT's actually happened to me. My plan is to put a wall on both sides of the railway to stop ranged attacks, and then two tiles of empty ground or water to keep melee enemies away.

I'm trying to figure out if the fences will keep enemy ranged attacks away, for one thing :)

UPDATE: just tested, I can fire over fences with a bow, so I have to assume enemies can fire ranged attacks over them as well. Guess it's walls all the way.

You would use fences over walls if you want to see over them, shoot over them, or keep enemies that destroy walls on the other side as they wont attack the fences for some reason.

So I just did a farm for my cave mobs with some larva in the middle. I put a scarlett fence up then realized they can shoot over it thus I went with walls after.
